Bristol-based Aardman Animation has become famous for bringing us classics like the Wallace & Gromit films and Chicken Run.  Ditching the stop-motion animations for CGI and 3D technology, Aardman presents Arthur Christmas, an inventive story explaining the answers to all those questions kids have about Santa.  While it’s cute and fun, it doesn’t have the charm of their previous films and leaves much to be desired out of a fairly limited plot. In this British tale, Santa has had to stay on top of the latest technologies...

Secrets don’t make friends, but the truth is rarely pure and never simple.  This week on The Walking Dead old secrets are brought forward, new secrets are burrowed away, confessions run rampant, and we get plenty of food for thought.  Oh, and then there’s Shane and Andrea (shudder).  Secrets was the first episode in a while that felt pretty genuine and ‘back to it’s roots’.  There was some great zombie action, but that was an extremely small portion of what brought back that warm, fuzzy feeling...

Here at Lost In Reviews, we have talked plenty about one of our favorite films this year, Bellflower. Well, a new trailer is available for your viewing pleasure. Coatwolf Productions has recently released an unreleased version, in case you saw something about the film before. This is from Evan Glodell himself: “This is the original trailer i wrote for Bellflower in 2003 before the first draft of the script was even finished. When Bellflower sold earlier this year we got the script back out and decided to make it. We all...

It was hard not to notice how different the Record Bar felt on Tuesday night. Playing host to to seasoned Power Poppers Mates of State, the Westport Bar’s crowd was notably younger, filled girls in their late teens. A venue that typically hosts a mix of hipsters and quiet guys in their twenties, The Record Bar felt like a different place entirely, with the bright houselights on and a large, potentially sold-out crowd full of friendly, enthusiastic conversation between sets. But then again, Mates of State aren’t your...

About a week after the trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman premiered, the first trailer for the other Snow White film, Mirror, Mirror, also came online.  The whole look and feel of this Snow White is completely different, and this one is catering to a completely different audience.  This story looks more like the Disney version, and is probably going to be more family friendly than the other one.  I can see where some people are going to prefer this version more, but it is just going to depend on what kind of films you...

This is the second trailer for Shame starring Michael Fassbender.  The film has a lot of sex in it as the trailer shows, and has earned an NC-17 rating.  The studio is not recutting the film to make it an R rating, so please, seriously, don’t bring your kids to this film.  There is a lot of buzz surrounding the film, especially for Michael Fassbender’s performance.  This trailer is mostly silent except for hearing Carey Mulligan’s singing “New York, New York.”  The film is directed by Steve...

Angela and I sit down to discuss Like Crazy starring Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlie Bewley, Alex Kingston, Oliver Muirhead, Chris Messina, Finola Hughes, Ben York Jones, & Jamie Thomas King. Is Like Crazy the indie answer to all your romantic dreams? Find out in the video review below. Synopsis: Like Crazy beautifully illustrates how your first real love is as thrilling and blissful as it is devastating. When a British college student falls for her American classmate, they embark on a passionate...

It has been about a year and a half since The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was in theatres.  It was a long time to wait for the fourth movie when The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse were only about six months apart in release.  The anticipation for the next film had died down, only to be revived immediately when the first and second trailers for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 arrived.  I managed to get just a little giddy sitting in the movie theatre, just minutes from the start of the film.  Then the film began...

I was beyond excited to have snagged a red carpet spot for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Fan Event for Dallas, Texas.  I have always been a devout Twihard since I read the books.  Kansas City did not have many opportunities to do anything interview-wise for any of the Twilight Saga films.  I think I bothered the PR rep here enough that she kindly let me have a spot for this event.  It was like some kind dream come true (for me). We were able to interview Jackson Rathbone (Jasper), Nikki Reed (Rosalie), Ashley...

Today (11/17) is Martin Scorsese’s birthday. It’s also just under a week away until the release of Scorsese’s latest Hugo, based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Hugo is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. The first being that it’s the first film Scorsese has shot in 3D. Say what you will about the technology, but when a cinematic icon like Scorse decides to give it a crack I’m down to see what the director has up his sleeve. It also marks the first time that Scorsese is making for what...

SXSW 2012 is 113 days away. We’ve already shared the first wave of bands announced for the 2012 edition of the festival and just this week the second wave of bands have been announced. This second round doesn’t contain any name’s I’ve noticed before, though this shouldn’t be a surprise for music fans as SXSW is where music fans go to discover the next big thing. Case in point? Foster the People, the band behind that song about the “pumped up kicks” played SXSW 2011. Perhaps one of the...

Along with Star Wars being re-released in 3D, Titanic is also getting the 3D treatment in an unpcoming re-release as well.  I have to admit that I was in love with this film.  This was when Leonardo DiCaprio was at his hottest.  The love story is great, and the backdrop of sinking of the Titanic was pretty much ground-breaking back then.  With the success of Avatar as a 3D film, director James Cameron has taken to turning Titanic into a 3D film as well.  I am more prone to going to see this since Cameron is an expert in...

The full trailer for Pixar’s next film, Brave, came out yesterday.  It is the first Pixar film with a female heroine, Merida, and she has quite the head of red hair.  The film is set in the Highlands of Scotland, which means that there are plenty of Scottish accents in the film.  Hopefully, the little ones can understand the words.  I have to admire the Pixar studio for just what I have seen in this trailer.  Merida has a lot of unruly, curly red hair that must have taken a lot of time to animate.  I am very much...
